Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

did not want to play that game, since he was out of money and wanted to waste time, he did not want to take a detour.

If you don't want to eat it, you have to eat it even if you don't want to!

"I repeat, I'm going to die …" Cough cough cough … "Before this official dies, there are some things that I must do!"

"Didn't they say that this official is going to rebel? Aren't you always saying that I am a treacherous official? Aren't the imperial court on guard against me? Then, today I will let Chao Ye see if I am a treacherous official, and see if I am loyal to the His Majesty! "

"I only have one breath left, then I will have to help His Majesty up... Great marriage, personal affairs, you must complete them all within the next year! "

"There is no room for negotiation. This subject shall leave his words here!"

Ci Xi's eyes were also red, only his face was flushed red, as he was at a loss of what to do, as if Yi Xuan was an idiot.

General Gui stood there for a long time. In the end, he did not dare to erupt and instead let out a long breath. "Oh, Ceng Shuai …" What are you doing... The other party was also not so straightforward, do you think I'm an idiot? "

"Are you afraid that I will interfere? Are you afraid that I won't let the His Majesty take matters into his own hands? You can't be so suspicious of people! "

"Hehe …" This humble subject did not say, this humble subject does not suspect anyone, this humble subject only has one brain, next year, I will take care of these two big matters! "

The empress dowager had finally experienced how Ceng Guofan could calm the hair on his head into a state of chaos today!

Normally, Ceng Guofan was just a modest gentleman, a typical scholar. However, as long as he was tough, there was no need for others to worry about him.

Thinking back to the battles that he had fought to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, saying that he was mature and conservative, because he liked to set up camps, dig trenches, and then surround them to fight in a war of attrition.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was killed in the end by the long war between the Xiang Army s!

But this kind of stable strategy was actually a manifestation of Ceng Guofan's character, and that was tenacity!

I can't beat you, I'll exhaust you to death, I'll surround you, I'll be at a stalemate with you for the rest of my life, let's see who gives in first!

You've used all of today's strategies in the imperial government, and you want to mess with it? He didn't even have a door or a window!

Then you have to give me the promise of a red mouth and white teeth, and you have to do all these things in 1872, next year, before all the other powers.

Yi Yeyu's expression changed several times before he finally laughed, "Your Majesty, personal governance is a good thing. This king approves with both hands!" If you don't mind, when the time comes, ask for money, ask for people to give it to you! "

"Good!" "It's good to have your words, Your Highness …" "Cough, cough, cough …" Ceng Guofan suddenly coughed violently, his face becoming flushed red.

"Marshal …" "Hurry and inform the imperial physician, the imperial physician …" Ci Xi was so anxious that both his hands were tied tightly together, he didn't know what to do.

"No …" No need for Imperial Physician... Speak to me … "Your servant's guards, come here …" Ceng Guofan gasped.

"Quick, pass it on …"

Following the voice, Ceng Guofan who had been waiting outside the palace, personal guard old farmer rushed in. He did not bother to greet the marshal as he pressed both of his hands on the marshal's back and gently held onto his acupoints to slowly massage his vital energy and blood.

The old farmer lowered his head and said, "If there's no other way, just burn one …" It's urgent! "

~ Why would Ceng Guofan, the hero of the first generation, lose face in front of the Manchu? He shook his head fiercely, "I'm fine!"

The old farmer asked Ceng Guofan to burn some opium to calm his lungs. The opium could also suppress the pain, it was originally nothing much.

However, Ceng Guofan really didn't want the Manchu to see him humiliating himself by smoking a big cigarette. Even if he was going to die, he had to maintain his identity as a Chinese scholar.

Was the half a million old Xiang Army marshal turned into a big smoker in the end? It would be embarrassing if word of this got out!

"This... The second thing... Finally, they came to an agreement... This subject has one last thing to do … Peng Yulin... "Come in …"

Following the voice, the Military Chief, Peng Yulin, who had been waiting for this entire time, walked into the Yangxin Palace!

"This subject greets the empress dowager, and Your Highness …"

Peng Yulin was the commander of the Xiang Army's water army, a close comrade of the same generation as the Great Marshal Zeng. At the moment, he was the Minister of War of the Kingdom of Ren Qing.

However, no one could deny that he had the Xiang Army's imprint on his body. This was actually a representation of the power that the Xiang Army had placed in the capital!

After Peng Yulin bowed, he took out a paper roll and recited, "Your Majesty's Chime …" The security of the capital was a big problem... In order to guard against a minor disturbance... "I request that you send an additional twenty thousand Xiang Army s to the Mansion of the direct disciples, in order to ensure the safety of the capital …"

Boom!! The East Warm Pavilion was immediately thrown into chaos, Yi Nan and Yi Xuan stood up and pointed at Ceng Guofan, they were even stuttering when they spoke.

"What …" Add... Reinforcements? Isn't it certain that there are three thousand Xiang Army Cavalry? Why did he have to increase the number of troops by 20,000... What are you doing? "

"Hehe …" What for? This subject has aged … "These soldiers will carry the coffin back to our hometown, okay?"

"The ground isn't so peaceful …" Your subject is afraid that someone will cut off this thin leather coffin of mine... If you grind my bones and scatter my ashes, I'm afraid! "

The smell of gunpowder immediately rose. Two things were fine before, but the third thing was to never agree to it. He had to be on guard against the Xiang Army, how could he be allowed to increase his troops?

Yi Xuan jumped up and waved his hand, saying, "No way, the safety of the capital is naturally my minister of nine city gates's responsibility, I have over twenty thousand soldiers, it's more than enough!"

"Yes!" That's right, This King has trained thirty thousand soldiers in the western mountains.

Peng Yulin smiled slightly: "Your highness, are you forgetful? "Xishan, you've trained sixty thousand soldiers, how did it become thirty thousand …"

"There are sixty thousand, just thirty thousand soldiers. The rest are all auxiliary force …" They are all working auxiliary force! "

"Hehe …" auxiliary force is good, auxiliary force is not bad … They should all be auxiliary force s who can fire cannons! "

"Peng Yulin, what do you mean? You dare to doubt This King! "

"I don't dare to …" [I just feel so much heartache. I've spent millions of taels of silver …] That pile of silver mountains had only trained 30,000 soldiers? So expensive! "

"You!" Following Ceng Guofan doesn't make any noise. You, Peng Yulin, also want to go up on the face, you're just going to start insulting him.

Right at this moment, a pa sound was heard, Ci An smashed the teacup onto the ground with a slap, "Do you all think that I has died? This is the Yangxin Palace, not the Great Fence! "

"Everyone sit back down and shut up!"

The East Warm Pavilion was dead silent, at this time Ceng Guofan was no longer in a hurry, he took out a bottle of Su He Xiang Wine and took a sip.

Only after a good fifteen minutes did Ci An suppress his anger. She looked at Ceng Guofan and said: "Ceng Shuai! I know what you want to do, you are hell-bent on helping His Majesty in his own affairs next year! "

"I understands your loyalty, but why are you doing this to us … "Okay?"

Ceng Guofan laughed, "Sure … Nothing bad... Say something along the way... This is just a formality, the truth is that the twenty thousand soldiers are already on their way! "

"AHH!" All the Manchu in the room were dumbfounded!
